Bucked / Ducked how to stop it?

[sniffHound]

Oh my. Get the one that has a handful of cash for the police. Works like a charm.

I suggest a trunk monkey

Wow... I'm so sorry for your inconvenience.

Hey, don't get me wrong - I'm in the same camp as you when it comes to parking away from others and "look, but don't touch."

That being said, they're placing a harmless rubber duck on your door handle. It's not hurting anyone, and it's a compliment to your ride. I highly doubt the metal keychain ring is doing any form of damage by simply blowing in the wind - If it is, you should talk to Ford about their poor paint/clear coating.

I'd appreciate the compliment, and move on with your day.

Trade it in for a Subaru?

Won't work. You either end up with fish or surrounded by Subbies.

without being inside of your vehicle 24/7 you aren't going to do it...you aren't going to stop what someone else wants to do, and since there's no global opt out list going that everyone subscribes to...well...I get that you don't want people touching your vehicle, and you likely throw away whatever it is, but it's still gonna happen regardless of your choice in the matter.

and shockingly....I've not been touched Got my Bronco last April and nobody has done anything to it.

Probably best to sell your Bronco. I wish I would get ducked more. My little girl loves giving them to people, and she checks my door every time we come to the car, but we've only gotten one, last summer.

I would video me running over it and post it everywhere

I loved my Subies but it's definitely a life-style vehicle for some so if you don't like ducks or bucks then you're going to hate bumper stickers!

I came out of Menards the other day and found a little pony, small beaded strap, and a card on a metal keychain hanging from my door handle. In addition to this mess was a small rubber duck shoved between the handle and door. I was bucked and ducked.
I truly don’t understand the fascination with this trend, but to each their own. However, I prefer that I was left out of this nonsense. I’m the type of person who parks at the far end of the parking lot away from all others to reduce the risk of others coming close to my vehicles. And, I definitely didn’t appreciate the metal key chain swinging in the wind against my paint or the scuff mark left on the paint from shoving the thing between the door handle and door.
I realize people have strong opinions about bucking and I’m not posting to spark another debate. I just want to know if there is some type of universal symbol or sticker I could place on my window that tells everyone that I don’t want to be part of this trend and to keep their trinkets for someone who may actually appreciate them. Any thoughts?

I don't know if that's worth mentioning, I mean, it's on the books to tear down the goalposts and burn a few city blocks after a win or a loss in Philly, too...

I'm Sure I speak for most of us here in PA, but if we could disown Philly we would!!!

On the plus side if one of them asks you to go hiking, you know it's serious and an Outback can pull a uHaul trailer,.

Never been ducked, but my first week of ownership, there were hand and nose prints on the rear glass, as if someone was peeking in.
Annoyed and flattered at the same time.

 

[rtazz17]

omg, honestly,be happy they dont key your vehicle next time. God forbid someone is trying to do something innocent and fun in the world today.

 

[rtazz17]

Unfortunately I have bigger issues in my life..haha..I wish I could worry about this..

exactly

This is the most narcissistic thing that some people do while convincing themselves they are "spreading joy" instead of bullying others into joining their cult. They should really take one second to be considerate to other human beings and respect their feelings and their property. Do this to your friends or possibly coworkers, but don't be a bully/a-hole and do this to strangers.
